Blue Hackle

While the individual company, business sector, and environment may vary, the Blue Hackle approach discreetly and professionally provides consistent low visibility, low impact security services .

UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES

Blue Hackle understands the challenges.  Businesses in a variety of different Commercial Sectors – media, construction, life support, airports, and banking – need a comprehensive solution to establish and mitigate risk to personnel and assets.   A commercial business has the widest variety of challenges and needs a security provider who not only understands the unique requirements of the sector, but is also adept at aligning the host country and individual business interests.  Blue Hackle supports commercial clients in the U.S., Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.  We thoroughly understand the unique challenges of these regions. 

• Challenging Environments.  These vary from isolated locations to difficult urban and semi-urban locations.  While the locations are unique, the necessity for well-designed and executed security principles remains the same.
• Protection of People.  Kidnapping, extortion, sabotage, theft, and sectarian violence create hostile and dangerous environments for personnel.
• Protection of Installations.  Daily threats of theft, loss of product, and sabotage to assets, facilities (e.g. life support areas), infrastructure, and terminals reduce profits and increase financial risk.
• Cultural Challenges.  Screening and monitoring of local workforce is challenging and unpredictable.
• Logistics.  Securing logistics operations between installations and at life support facilities is difficult without the proper situational awareness of security threats regardless of location.

PERSONNEL TO MEET THE CHALLENGES 

Blue Hackle has the personnel to meet the challenges.  Complex security requirements demand highly trained and knowledgeable personnel who can meet the challenges from Day One.  Blue Hackle employs mature professionals who are culturally acclimated and comfortable in the region and environment.  Since 2004 Blue Hackle employees have secured many commercial companies in the Middle East, South Asia, Africa, and some countries in South America and Asia.  Our personnel will:

• Improve operational awareness to secure personnel, installations, and terminals.
• Maintain a deliberately low-profile security presence.
• Minimize violence against personnel or theft of product due to in-depth cultural local knowledge and local relationships.
• Work by, with, and through local governments and the populace to achieve buy-in and maintain a reliable workforce.

We recruit, train, and retain only the highest caliber security personnel and other professionals to secure lives, protect assets, and reduce risk.  Please click here for more information about why Blue Hackle leadership and staff are qualified to help you with all commercial security needs.

LOWERING THE RISK 

Blue Hackle lowers the risk.  The most effective security is multi-layered and multi-dimensional.  Multi-layered security is the physical, human, and electronic means to manage, mitigate, and minimize security risks.  Multi-dimensional security involves security capabilities beyond mitigating immediate risks.  Blue Hackle pioneered this form of analysis technique, and will optimize it to meet your security needs in the following ways:

• Life Support Services.  Life Support services are available to individuals, small groups or larger ones either traveling temporarily in country or staying for an extended time.

We understand the site specific standards and are always compliant.

• Interpreters.  Local and international interpreters assist with language and culture requirements.
• Corporate Outreach/Communications.  Local partnership relationship building services that ensures we work by, with, and through local governments and the populace to achieve buy-in and maintain a reliable workforce.

• Mobile Security Deployments.  Specialized team of locals and expatriates provides low-profile mobile security and personal security detail and can assist persons in danger, even in rapid response situations and in disparate locations.

ELECTRONIC
